Carrots!

Thought for the day... what to do with the leftover carrots when making carrot cake?
...use them as fun toppings! (Especially since the traditional topping is nut pieces, but there are no nuts in these.)

Just run the veggie peeler down the long side of the carrot, roll, then keep in a bowl of cool water while you frost (so the carrots don't dry out). The carrots softened nicely from the moisture of the frosting and cake when left covered overnight. Yum!
Oh, and yes, the lettering is carrot bits too. ;)
